Sorry about the delay. Something unexpected came up.

272 BCE- Summer


Pyrrhos walks into the room, angry as ever.

"Gentlemen of the council, I have some news. Soon after we besieged the city of Pella, we were attacked. A relief force from Demetrias attacked us in a overwhelming attack. In the end they were utterly beaten, but the cost was high, we lost approxamatly 230 men, including nearly half our elephants. The loss off the elephants was strickly my fault, as I made the mistake of charging them at heavy skirmisher cavalry. I had thought, they were regular cavalry, and nearly all the elephant losses were in that charge. Good news is that a lot of the casualties were healed from thier wounds, and can partake in the taking of the city. A small portion of the enemy escape back to Pella, but they shall be but a small annoyance. Second army under Demetrios' command have just arrived on the Italic penninsula, but should arrive in the city by Fall. Now, We need to discuss taking the city of Pella. It has very few men left to defend it, so should we attack or starve them out? If we attack, should we produce siege weopons? Or are the Elephants enough? Also, we need to think about the campaign in Italy. We have signed a ceasefire with Carthage, so if they declare war on the Romani, we may find an ally. Or have your thoughts, on a double campaign changed? Anyway, I leave floor open to you men of the Council."

Pyrrhos walks over to his seat and sits down.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I had intended to include screenshots of the battle but for some reason, It didn't save them anywhere. I think I did it wrong, so help would be apprecciated.

Pergamos Abantes rises.

"The loss of so many elephants is saddening, those will be difficult to replace. At least Pella lies at our mercy now, so strike immediately, using the remaining elephants to batter through the walls. And astonishingly enough, I find myself in agreement with Thaliarchos. I would do almost anything to defeat the Romans... except allying with Carthage."

Generally I just use the print screen button, they are then stored in a folder called TGAs in your Rome Total War folder. You need to turn Anti Aliasing off for this to work.

Yeah, but my computer can't veiw tga files. It opens a notepad document. How do I make it viewable?

[johnhughthom]

Use a program like GIMP (free download, just google it) to change the files into JPEG format.

What about Lysandros Ambrakikos (Lysandrus of Ambracia)? Lysandros means "He Who Frees Men".
